Granted, I've never worked a jobsite with no power in the Alaskan winter, but isn't this a bit overkill, Makita? Did they hire women for new product ideas?

why would i waste a perfectly good charged battery when i could just go to a wawa for coffee like i always do
>Have dated two women in my life.
>The first was from South East Pennsylvania
>The other from Southern Florida became my wife.
Wawa and my love life go hand in hand.
so you have a thing for methheads?
Philly girls love fent in my experience
>supporting the li-ion tool shills
get yourself a quality brewing device
based Wawa
Didn't know wawa had gotten all the way to Florida.
Like 6-7 years ago maybe, they came in and bought up literally like 1000 pieces of land. They have been knocking down mom & pop Marathons and Sunocos and putting up Wawas for years now.
I'd say closer to 10 years ago.
Was less than that. Maybe 7-8? We had meetings on it when they were coming in and it was something like 800 properties in the state IIRC. They went for all of those properties all at once, it was crazy.
Ahh you’re up north. Took a couple more years for them to explode all through Florida and build a million of them in Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach.
I feel bad for some of the owners of the mom n pop places. Like this old Eastern Yuro couple that owns a nice Chevron, there was a Sunoco across the street that got knocked down like 5 years ago and replaced by a corporare Wawa and they were stressing.
Ironically Sunoco also started in Philly almost 80 years before Wawa as Sun Oil.
Yo! Everybody! This guy's only had sex with two chicks in his life!

>drip coffee
I just not8ced they have a whole line of this stuff molded in green plastic instead of blue and they're selling it to campers.
Better have it and not need it than need it and not have it. They make all sorts of niche things. Their weird tilting wheelbarrow saved me a ton of work
When im camping its a percolator on a fire like a real man
>percolator on a fire
you mean a 120v outlet, right? considering ive never seen a percolator that doesnt need electricity before.
Youre kidding right….no a percolator that goes over a fire
You never watched a cowboy movie?
Young naive male, there are percolators that can go directly on the fire. The modern electric ones merely have an electric element integrated into the bottom.
I would theoretically use a moka pot, as it's ?more compact. It's moot, as I quit the caffeine israelite awhile ago.
You can probably get a dewalt or milwaukee battery to makita tool slide adapter, and use what you have, instead of investing in new batteries and chargers just for Makita.
tfw some people will never have real cowboy coffee
A mokka pot is called a percolator in some places. A percolator is big electric thing with a thermostat, mokka pot aka bialetti is what you put over a fire
No.
They're both simple devices that can be heated electrically or with fire, but they do different things to coffee
When we hard core camp on a river for 6days instant coffee
I forgot im an old frick
Makita make a lot of fun power tools
I have the backpack vacuum, it is very good.
can power
>ten weedwhackers

>electric wheelbarrow
>ten shirts
>and coffee maker
fricking rir, I think I see a couple gamecubes on there too
My absolute favorite makita tool isn't pictured, but they make a beam saw (basically a skill saw with a 16" diameter blade) that I love
It has the motor and wide part of the shoe to the left of the blade (opposite from normal saws) which was perfect for someone who's left handed + right eye dominant
Hopefully one day battery tech will be good enough to power units like this
I’m gonna buy these when sawstop/tti becomes a tablesaw monopoly
>opposite from normal saw
The left- or right-handedness of circular saws is a debate in itself. To remain neutral, many will simply say "motor on left" or "motor on right". I own three circular saws:
- corded Makita 7¼" -> motor on left
- cordless DeWalt 6½" -> motor on right
- cordless DeWalt 7¼" -> motor on left
I know someone with a Milwaukee 6½" and the motor is on the right.
I often use the saw to rip plywood installed on the top of a platform so I find it more natural to have the motor to the left (on the platform) as I walk along the edge of the platform. Also when I cut lumber, I measure from the left, so having more of the base on the longer piece that remains gives you more stability
nice. i bet that would be nice on a cold jobsite
This. I don’t think it would be a bad idea.
Surprised Ryobi doesn’t have one. A lot of their 18V stuff is really good for hurricane season or car camping and such. I’ve sold a couple old women on Ryobi 18V lights and fans instead of wasting $40 on D-cell batteries to run the shit for one night.
Ryobi does have one but only for Africans. TTI has no Ryobi license for Africa. I think it is a rebadged Kyocera from Japan (OG Ryobi Tool in JP was bought by Kyocera a couple years back).
where can I buy this
https://leroymerlin.co.za/18v-li-ion-cordless-barista
Idk if they ship outside Africa.
In my experience, you can get personal products from South Africa but it'll have to be a private courier and because South Africa is a dysfunctional hellhole with regular brownouts, international shipping is fricking expensive.
I had the shipping quote for a couple sets of SA military surplus come out to ~$450cad for an order with a subtotal of ~$200cad.
A single power tool is probably going to have even more of a shitty unit/shipping price ratio.
picrel is a matrix of estimated rates with DHL in South Africa:
>$290 USD for the small TV sized box.
Dammit, boy!
>DHL Express
And how much is economy shipping?
I only received a DHL quote from the store as they're "the courier that's most reliable in their experience" whether that's true or not, shipping from South Africa to N. America does seem expensive with private couriers:
https://www.eurosender.com/en/gdd/shipping-south-africa-canada
>Economy shipping
S. Africa does have a national postal service and shipping parcels to Zone 4 countries (N. America) is R252.70, a huge difference from DHLs R4430, but whether you'll trust that your parcel will arrive is a whole other story, considering South Africas current situation.

Ehh.. It is absolutely a luxury, especially since the tank only holds 240ml which is like.. 2/3rds of a can of pop but I'd rather see my staff have this nonsense then see them starting a fire in the middle of nowhere and not completely douse the embers.
>wasting company time to brew a cup
>not just microwaving your water for instant coffee
>350w
enjoy waiting 30 minutes to heat up that can of soup

You won’t have to worry about that… the batteries are dead in 10 minutes.
Reminds me of those gay 20v dewalt heated coats.
My carpenter friend likes his for outdoor winter work
I'' take two
>18v
>not 40v max

Wtf is a wawa?
GAY thats what
Wawa used to be awesome. The day they took out the meat slicers and became fake subway was the day they became another fricking slop stop
I think this is for the guys who treat tools as funko.
Must consoome.
A 12v car plug in coffee maker would kinda make sense. But tool battery water heater thing does not, humanity figured out various forms of mobile water boilery before we figured out language.
>personally I like picrel with a moka pot
Many jobsites are not convenient to vehicles, like when you're atop a structure. The ritual flame heater campergays will not be able to understand working conditions where open flames are inconvenient.
>open flames are inconvenient
or dangerous or prohibited
>I think this is for the guys who treat tools as funko.
>Must consoome.
pretty much this
people on reddit go crazy for this type of shit
The makita coffee maker and kettle work well for road construction when you have no power and you have to sit idling for hours waiting for asphalt to be rolled to test it. Make a pot in the truck, make friends with the paving crew on a cold morning, chuck batteries on the car charger. When charged back up you're ready to prep the fresh asphalt for testing using a makita blower. Government agencies frown upon propane or butane stoves unless you are drying soil for density tests.
They make dumb things like that because it sells. simple as
>cold af at the jobsite
>no power
>captain coffee boy brings the Makita portable battery coffee maker
>the boys sit down for break and waiting on a hot cuppa
>one battery dies, then another
>breaks over now not enough batteries to run tools
>hours wasted
Get a Stanley classic or Fellow carter if you have firing neurons.
Anon, have you met Makita fanboys?
Its good for cycling your batteries, makes like 2 cups of coffee on a full 5ah charge.
I would have expected as much. This is a pretty straight forward engineering question to calculate the boiling of one cup of water from a battery.
Buy a vacuum flask and fill it with hot water before you get in your van. Then you'll never be disappointed when the sparky is being a slow prick and you can't boil your jug.
This solves the problem and now you don't have to carry this piece of junk around with you.
Some teas require it to be boiling right there and then. I fill the makita kettle (insulated) with boiling water from elsewhere, then it takes barely any power to reboil. A fresh cup of tea makes a jobsite with the nearest gas station 50 miles away more pleasant.
This is the stupidest thing I’ver ever seen.
It’s cheaper, lighter and a lot smaller to take a thermos of boiled water with you.
To make 1 litre of (almost) boiling water from 20 degrees C you need about 300,000 joules of energy, or two full 4 Ah 18 V packs. Which weighs 2.6 lbs. the water weighs 2.2 lbs.
It’s interesting my morning coffee has about the same energy as my makita impact battery pack fully charged in the morning.
No. More men are just more feminine like you now.
I drink coffee when i get up. Shit,shower and roll.
There is no grabass coffee breaks. Im there to work. Taking breaks and lunch frick up my rhythm and concentration. Not to mention I get more done and my 8 hr day is 8 hrs. Coffee makers, smoking cigarettes, shitting on company time is bullshit.
Ill be in your ass…work or ill make you quit.
Lol he actually fell for it guys
Youre fired
Dont get out much do you princess
I shit while I'm asleep, then I drink coffee while I'm showering. I do my work in the truck while I'm on my way to the work site so I'm done by the time I get there. Then it's back to the office for grabass and ball-breaking before I wash the boss's mercedes and deliver a rimjob to grandboss. My 8 hour day is 480 minutes, you fricking broccoli head
Dont you have some grammar to correct on gaybook
If you don't work 100hours a week, lower your voice when you talk to me
Those are fun, wish Ryobi would make one. Just an FYI, any brushed tool or a heating element can run directly off solar panels or even another large battery like your car battery/solar battery bank. It’s hard to find high power DC coffee makers. Those cheesy cigarette plug ones are a joke. A single cup might work but not a pot.
I'll start off by saying that making coffee with battery power makes no sense, but the gimmick of providing one makes sense.
Power tool manufacturers need to get tradesmen hooked on their proprietary systems because, as a contractor, I have just one multi-battery charger, as many batteries as I have laying around that are all charged by that charger, and a number of power tools that are all powered by the same two batteries, which are always available because I always keep a bunch of them charged.
Since I am hooked on that one battery system, I end up buying things like vaccums, lanterns, heat guns, radios and speakers, and even heated jackets that are powered by those batteries, since I already own the batteries and chargers.
Now if you're a clever engineer at one of these companies, you'll come up with anything electrical that can be powered by one of your batteries that can make your customers' lives easier on jobs with no power. If your battery system seems incomplete in any way, as in you don't offer something that your competitors do, your customers will start abandoning you completely.
So I think the coffee maker is impractical and gimmicky, but I wouldn't put it past some frivilous tradesmen to abandon Milwaukee and DeWaltt because Makita has a coffee maker.
the absolute state
I want one of th3ese but I can't find the Ryobi to fit my batery. Can I make an adapter. thx.
I have made a couple adapters to adapt ryobi to other tools. To adapt a ryobi to a makita coffee maker, you will need:
A Bosch to Makita adapter.
https://www.amazon.com/Battery-Adapter-Lithium-ion-Cordless-Converter/dp/B09YHNTR8Q/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?tag=ganker-20&crid=11G0NFGWPQHVG&keywords=bosch+to+makita+adapter&qid=1707337222&sprefix=bosch+to+makita%2Caps%2C532&sr=8-5
A ryobi to power wheels adapter.
https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-Battery-terminals-Connector-Robotics/dp/B09GXBJMNF/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?keywords=Power+wheels+ryobi+adapter&qid=1707343402&sr=8-4
1 soldering iron or some 12 AWG butt connectors (solder if possible)
1 tube of amazing goop (glue that cures into a strong, slightly flexible rubber).
1 hot glue gun and some hot glue.
Start by cutting side holes in the ryobi stalk above the clamps. Clamp/solder to the makita adapter contacts. Hot glue both adapters together. Test electrical connection to makita tool. If it passes remove from all power then wire up and encapsulate in goop. Put outside for 3 days since goop curing is very flammable.
Finished product.
do electricians really?
Those Packout mugs looked sweet, but not at like $40ea.
